Go Green this summer…  around the bushy park or long walks by the riverside.. .. Love the bright evenings…Just wish this remains EVER, even in the coldest december …Knowing this can never come true in the wildest of my dreams !!!!  But I still wish !!!

  Peak 25 C today  ..Woooof !!! Coated in sunscreen with 30 SPF and dressed in with as lil clothes as possible !! Mugs of beer gobbling down the gun throats one after the other , watching league foodball  and FB ‘ing  - Tats typical British Summer … Show it off Man!!

When the green herbs come for a bargain at the local Indian store , making the Green Chutney is the easiest and the handy thing  . Spread them on to a toasted bread with slices of cucumber & tomato or use them up as a dip, its entirely personal choice… They pair very well with my Singara’s  too.
